There are a few main types of rainwater harvesting systems, and the right fit depends on how you plan to use the water.

• Whole-house potable systems are designed to supply all indoor fixtures with high-quality, drinkable water. These require multi-stage filtration and disinfection for safe, everyday use.

• Irrigation systems are simpler and more cost-effective, with lighter filtration that’s suitable for watering landscapes, gardens, or livestock.

• Impervious cover offset systems are tailored to help meet impervious cover requirements during permitting. We love turning a requirement into a reward – captured rainwater can be used for things like pool fill or drought-tolerant landscaping.

• Emergency backup systems are smaller potable setups designed to serve as a secondary water source alongside municipal or well water – providing resilience during outages, droughts, or disruptions.

We’ll help you navigate the options and choose the system that fits your goals, site, and budget.

A wet pipe rainwater system uses underground piping to convey water from your roof to the storage tank. In this setup, the downspouts often stay partially full between rain events – hence the name.

Wet pipe systems allow us to maximize your collection area and offer more flexibility in tank placement, especially when the tank can’t be located directly next to the roof.

In contrast, a dry pipe system routes water straight from gutters to the tank through 1–2 direct downspouts, and the pipes fully drain between rains, leaving them ‘dry’. Both options have their place, and our experienced team can help determine which design is the best fit for your site.

Rainwater systems aren’t plug-and-play. Every site is different and requires different approaches. Rooflines, topography, usage goals, and aesthetics all factor in.

A well-designed system ensures you collect enough water, maintain quality, and avoid costly mistakes down the line. It’s the difference between something that just works and something that works well for decades.

We don’t install small rain barrels, but we’re glad you’re thinking about collecting rain! We specialize in full-scale rainwater harvesting systems, typically starting at 1,000 gallons.

If you’re looking for a traditional rain barrel setup, your best bet is to check with a local nursery or garden center. That said, we always encourage folks to think bigger: even a 500 gallon barrel can fill and overflow in a single Texas storm. It’s often more cost-effective (and rewarding) to size up from the start.

If you’re curious about what’s possible for your property, we’re happy to talk it through.

We can, and we do install underground rainwater systems but its with a heavy dose of upfront caution.

Underground rainwater tanks are significantly more expensive than above-ground options. They often require engineered concrete pours and specialized tanks. In the majority of residential cases, these requirements make an underground project cost-prohibitive.

That said, if going underground is important for your layout or aesthetics, we’re happy to walk you through what it would take and see if it makes sense for your site and budget.

Every household is different, but on average, a family of four uses about 75–100 gallons of water per person per day. That adds up quickly when you’re accounting for showers, laundry, dishes, and general use.

We’ll help you estimate your actual water needs based on your lifestyle and goals – whether you want to go fully off-grid, supplement your well, or use for irrigation.

A good rule of thumb: for every 1 inch of rain, you can collect about 0.6 gallons per square foot of roof area. So, a 2,000-square-foot roof can yield over 1,200 gallons from a single inch of rain.

But good design makes all the difference. It’s not just about the size of your roof, it’s about how the water is captured, conveyed, and stored. Details like gutters, pipe sizing/fittings, elevation changes, and overflow handling all impact how much of that rain you actually get to keep.

We design every system to capture the maximum amount of usable water your roof and site can provide – and to make sure it’s clean, reliable, and ready when you need it.

While our preference is to collect from a standing seam metal roof, you can collect rainwater off an asphalt shingle roof. That said, composite shingles are petroleum-based, so if you’re planning to drink the water, we recommend installing a reverse osmosis (RO) unit at your kitchen sink for added peace of mind.

For non-potable uses like irrigation or pool fill, no additional filtration is usually needed beyond our standard debris and sediment removal.

If your roof can’t meet your full water demand, we can design that supplements with municipal or well water. We can also explore options for expanding your collection area. Sometimes that means capturing from an additional structure, such as a carport, barn, or shed. We’re here to help brainstorm what’s possible for your property and design a system that makes the most of what you’ve got.

Our team always designs with the right expectations in mind, not just the biggest possible tank. If rainwater can’t fully meet your needs, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to deliver a reliable system, not one that overpromises.

We’re based in Dripping Springs, Texas, and most of our work is concentrated within a 75-mile radius. Our regular service area includes:

Dripping Springs, Driftwood, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, Spicewood, Wimberley, Leander, Blanco, Johnson City, Fredericksburg, and Boerne, along with other nearby Hill Country communities.

We also travel farther for larger installs, so even if you’re outside the area, it’s worth reaching out. We’re always happy to discuss what’s possible based on your location and project scope.

In many parts of Texas, yes but it depends on where you are and how the system will be used. Some local governments, water districts, and utilities offer rebates or tax incentives for rainwater collection, especially for potable systems or irrigation offsets. These programs are always changing, so we keep an updated overview here:  Rainwater rebates & tax benefits
